Jaya I love what you have written about the trust factor. I agree that there is often a double standard even with respect to trust. Why is it that we trust in certain situations but not in others, especially where a pregnancy is concerned (when even the so-called near and dear ones become the first line of enemies?)
Plus again, with respect to the diagnosis of this lady hakim, it is nothing but "blind trust" in her experience. Can hakims not be wrong? It doesn't strike anyone to question that though!
And yes, that head-hitting seemed so much like Javeeda's usual gestures!
Pregnancy is one such thing which is objective, where it is the proof, reality and hence everyone will doubt you since a lady can be preganct only if she had a relationship with a man (not unless it is artificial Insemination which was missing in those days). About trust, it is not only with pregnancy but even while fixing an allience by parents or choosing a parner by the children, it comes in to picture though not with that intensity. We trust our parents to give us better education, better cloths, all teh best facilities available in the world but when it comes to choosing our partner, we will tell them your tastes doesn't suite me and I will choose my own... where was that trust gone whihc we had when they choose our school, college, clothes, ornaments etc...
At teh same time even parents, they will allow the child to choose the colour for his/her room, vehicle etc. when it comes to choosing his wife or her husband, that trust fails...
It is not because they lost confidance in each other, but only because, it is believed that a life partner is for the life time and there should not be any mistake, you can't keep changing them as you do with the wall papers... So is the virginity of a girl...,
NO, it was not a wrong diagonise, it was a wrong verdict given by the Hakim as she had been bribed and warned of teh later consequences...and why will ethey suspect the lady unless there is some scope for it? TYhe question should have been posed either by Jalal or by Jodha, but both thought other is the reason for pregnancy and that doctor had been serving the Sultanate for the last 20 years. If they have to susoect her about her skills, it is as good as suspecting MA's ministeral skills. So only after truth of her non-pregnancy is out by some other doctor, no will have doubts about Jodha not being pregnant (not even Jodha)
